(ScriptNode) Smeary Reverb / Washy Cymbals?

[iamlamprey]

I'm noodling at physically modeled drums, specifically cymbals and I need an efficient way to "smear" the excitation impulse

I know the typical route is to use allpass filters in the delay line, but I find I have to use a math.mul at 0.5 just to keep the audio from blowing up.

I currently have 5 delays with different fractional delay times and I'm also passing a long noise tail into it but it just sounds like a noisy sawtooth buzz rather than a nice chorusy wash.

Not sure how to proceed towards that metallic ringing without overloading the delay lines or the CPU
